Vegan Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies

April 6, 2011 by Joy the Baker 235 Comments

IMG_1938

Two things are unacceptable:  I keep forgetting to buy butter, and there’s a spider on my ceiling that my cat can’t reach.

Two solutions have presented themselves:  Make vegan cookies, and construct some sort of winged apparatus to send my cat into flight, thus into spider hunting range.

So far, I’ve got the cookies.  The cat wings have proven more difficult.  This mancat of mine doesn’t seem very aerodynamic.  Why don’t cat tails double as some sort of cat helicopter blade?  That would solve this stupid spider situation for sure.

Sunflower seeds covered in chocolate and a hard candy shell.  The candy shell makes them precious, darling, and edible by the fistful.

Ps.  The sunflower seeds are less than vegan.  Vegan chocolate chunks are a great replacement for those of you who are down with the vegan thing.

These cookies are adapted from my favorite vegan cookie recipe from Organic and Chic.  The original recipe is for spicy ginger cookies.  They’re dense, cakey, cookie biscuits.  I love them.

Applesauce, oil, and flax seed meal moisten these cookies, giving them a chewy bite and ample body.

Yea…  these cookies have body.

IMG_1899

Chocolate, espresso powder, and a touch of cinnamon are all packed into this batter.  The sunflower seeds make these cookies spring, sprung, flowery, and bright… vegan chocolate chunks would also be wonderful.

Rolled in sugar and slightly under-baked,  I think these cookies are a treat.  I have a giant bag of them in my freezer.  I share… I’ll probably share.

**For extra deliciousness:  add 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon to the dry ingredients, sift together, and proceed as recipe instructs.

    The recipe isn’t showing up when I hit “print recipe.” Can you share how you adapted it from the ginger cookies? Thanks!
    I always enjoy your recipes.

    These look and taste delicious. Unfortunately I cannot see the recipe anymore. I tried with two different computers and browsers. Also clicking “Print this Recipe!” produces a blank page. Is this just me? I only saved the link and not the recipe itself…

    I recently stumbled across your blog when trying to find an egg substitute (I used your suggestion of 1T ground chia seeds, 3T water, let sit, then add a pinch of baking powder right before using). I really enjoy reading your recipes, and your humor, and I have quite a few of your recipes on my To Bake list. This would be at the very top of the list, if the recipe showed up!! Please help!!!
    Also, these are (obviously) a chocolate cookie. How do you think it would turn out if I left out the cocoa powder? I’m not a huge chocolate cookie fan… Sometimes I even make chocolate chip cookies without the chocolate chips; though I’m not really sure what that would be called.
    Hoping to see this recipe soon!!!

      The cookies would probably turn out fine without the cocoa powder.
